The hunters finally have a name and credit goes to my bud NorthofNowhere from Archive of Our Own for coming up with the name. And yes Tywin is named after Tywin Lannister who belongs to George R. R. Martin.

Serenity's POV

"Finally I can get some damn answers on who these hunters are," I told Goliath as he glided across the New York City skies. Angela and Brooklyn were behind us. We were on our way to meet with Demona since she had the information she promised me.

My Beloved of Night carried me in his arms instead of me flying in dragon form.

"No matter what happens my Warrior of Flame I won't let any harm fall onto you, our daughter, and that of our clan" Goliath promised me.

I kissed my handsome mate on the cheek and the male gargoyle smiled at the gesture. We landed in a deserted park and a few minutes later Demona landed on the ground with ease. The female gargoyle gave Angela a kind smile and my stepdaughter returned it. Then Demona looked at me and again I saw no hostility in her eyes. She folded her wings around her body before speaking.

"These hunters were very good at hiding their information"

"But you found something?"

Demona nodded at Goliath's question before giving me some paperwork. I scanned through the pages while Demona continued to explain.

"These hunters have been around for as long as us gargoyles their called "Le Tribunal de la Lumiere" or in the English tongue "The Tribunal of Light"

"They sound like savages" Brooklyn hissed.

"They're worse than the hunters who chased me through the centuries" Demona added. "They despise all dragons shifters and anything of the supernatural world"

I froze when I found a page of the man who resembled my mother. A growl escaped my throat along with Goliath's.

"I'm afraid this is where things will turn ugly for you and your family Serenity," Demona said in a genuine sympathetic tone. She took the page from me. "This man is your maternal grandfather Tywin Corvus"

"He is no grandfather of mine"

Anger was surging through my veins.

"No grandparent would slaughter innocent dragon shifters for their own sick game, this man killed my sire's family and almost took the life of his mate and unborn children"

Seeing I was getting angry Goliath placed his hands on my shoulders. His touch got me to relax but I was still agitated.

"Your clan and family will need to be told about this revelation" Angela suggested to me. She was at my side and she placed a comforting hand on my arm.

"She's right" Demona agreed. "I'm still learning to accept humans and I am coming to terms that not all of them are bad"

"I'm still unconvinced" Brooklyn interrupted. "You've tricked us in that past Demona"

"And you have every right to feel that way Brooklyn" was Demona's response. "I'm not asking you or the rest of the clan to regain my trust, but as long as these hunters dwell in this world I won't stop protecting my child"

Seeing this meeting was over Brooklyn decided to leave but Goliath, Angela, and I still remained behind.

"Before I leave I have a question for you Serenity if you don't mind"

I wonder what she wants my inner dragon wondered.

"I'm not sure if I'm much of a help but what is it you want to know"

"Lately I've been noticing a male dragon shifter lingering about wherever I go"

Now that's interesting

Yes, that was interesting indeed.

"What does this male look like in either form?"

Demona sighed.

"I've only seen him in dragon form, he has dark red scales, bronze horns, neck and tail frills, and membranes"

It took me a minute to remember who this shifter was until I figured it out.

"His name is Ezekiel"

Ezekiel was not much older than Noah and I. He was a member of the Queen's Clan and in general an all-around nice guy. If he was tailing Demona it had to be with good reason.

"Should I be concerned for my safety with this Ezekiel?"

"No he's harmless but maybe the reason he's following you is because you might potentially be his true mate"

At that revelation both Angela and Demona's eyes went wide. Goliath looked shocked. And for the first time since I've known Demona she was blushing.

Maybe Demona having a true mate might be what she needs after so many centuries of loneliness

"I know nothing of dragon shifter courtship I'm afraid" Demona confessed looking really embarrassed.

"Mother I can offer you some advice if you are interested in hearing it" Angela offered. Since the conversation was wrapping up I made sure I had a firm grip on the documents Demona gave me.

"Thank you Demona," I said to the female gargoyle meaning it.

"As you said before we are both mothers and we do what we must to protect our children"

Next Day.

"I knew my father was close," Mom said taking a seat on the couch. Due to the information, I obtained from Demona a clan meeting had been called and it concluded not too long ago. I was back at my parent's place along with Noah, Elisa, and Eden slept in my arms.

"He and his entourage are being watched out for" Dad reassured his mate taking a seat beside her. Arwen Grey wasn't one to be brought down easily and now she was due to learning her flesh and blood were the hunters seeking to cause destruction. "And they will be caught"

"The Tribunal are worldwide hunters" I reminded my father.

"But their reign of tyranny will end and we will be ready"

I flashed my twin a proud grin.

"I wonder what this little girl will do when she grows up" Elisa stated eying her niece.

"Who knows it would be nice to have another cop in the family" Noah chuckled.

"Or maybe she'll be an author like her mother" Elisa countered.

"You know the two of you will make good parents when the time happens"

Immediately Noah and Elisa blushed. How I loved to tease my older sibling!

Eventually, Elisa kissed Noah on the cheek and intertwined her hand with his. The two of them would make good parents but to be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted Eden to be a cop. Within my mind, my other half snickered at my overprotectiveness.

Later

Near Sunset

It's odd not to have our child with us my dragon voiced her opinion.

Hey, you've been sexually frustrated as have I I scolded my other half. I refuse to have intercourse with our daughter present

Eden was with my parents for the night. Knowing Mom and Dad they loved having their grandchild with them every waking second. I just finished eating when the sun finally set and through the mate bond, I felt Goliath waking up. My Beloved of Night would be here soon so I went to work setting the living room up for what was to come.

Afterward, I went outside and waited for my mate's arrival.

"I hope I haven't kept you waiting long my Warrior of Flame" Goliath greeted after he landed.

"I'm a patient dragon to an extent my Beloved of Night"

"Unless your angered"

Goliath had a point there when I was angry my patience was pretty thin.

"Eden is with Tobias and Arwen?"

"Yep and no doubt she's getting spoiled, it's odd not having her around"

My mate then drew me into him and I felt my face go red when I saw the lust in his eyes.

"Now my Warrior of Flame shall I tame the beast within you?" he asked huskily.

"Once we're inside" I reminded him.

Goliath smirked before picking me up into his arms bridal style and walked us inside. He then set me back onto my feet and I turned the lights off. Like a predator would do with its prey I placed a hand on Goliath's muscular arm and I circled him.

"Wait here" I ordered the gargoyle before heading into my room. I pulled on the navy blue lingerie nightgown I used before but this time I added matching stockings.

"I like that gown on you" Goliath purred as I emerged from my room. "But I must confess I don't recognize the stockings"

I smirked before sitting down on the couch and Goliath walked on over. He bent down and placed his clawed hands on my left leg. At his touch, I jumped and this made the gargoyle chuckle darkly. Little by little he lowered the stocking and kissed each new part of my flesh that became exposed. When he lowered the right stocking instead of kissing my leg he used his tongue to tease me.

My panties were already soaked.

"I see your aren't patient for me my love" Goliath teased as he scented my arousal.

"Watch it mate"

Again Goliath chuckled before gently bringing me closer to him. Next, he lowered the straps of my nightgown until they fell from my arms, and with ease, he guided the gown lower until it was off of me completely.

"Beautiful," my Beloved of Night said before he took me into his arms and he lay me on my back.

Our lips locked in a passionate dance for a few minutes before Goliath began to kiss his way downwards. When he got to my breasts he licked a pattern around my hardened nipples with his tongue before resuming his way lower. He thankfully didn't destroy my underwear this time and once I was completely naked he pulled my legs apart.

He placed a hand on my waist so I wouldn't make any sudden movements and his lips ventured even lower until they found my soaked core. As Goliath began to taste me from there I arched my back and moaned in pleasure.

My Beloved of Night didn't stop until he had his fill. Soon his loincloth joined my clothes and I greedily wrapped my legs around his waist. Our lips met again as he pushed himself inside me. Goliath moved in and out of me mostly on instinct and I did the same when I moved my hips in sync with his thrusts.

My patience eventually thinned and Goliath chuckled. Soon he was on his back and his wings surrounded me as I eased myself fully on his manhood. I made love to my Beloved of Night in the pattern he enjoyed the most which consisted of me riding him in a fast-paced manner which eventually turned into a slow rhythm. We both reached our climaxes at the same time and I collapsed after the sexual high.

"I will never tire of you riding me," Goliath said as he pulled me closer to him. He stroked my back and I lay my head against his chest. "Rest assured my love no harm will befall of you, our clan, our daughter, and that of our friends as long as I am alive"

He was referring to the Tribunal. Our fight with them was only the beginning but there was one thing that was certain for the Tribunal, they would be brought down so no more of their evil would taint the world.

Credit goes to Marsmiko for suggesting that Demona having a dragon as a mate. Appreciate the suggestion my friend! In all honesty Demona deserves to be happy despite the crap she's done with Serenity and Goliath. The relationship between Demona and Serenity is improving.
